Today was quiet.  We went to get blood drawn, and there is usually a crowd and wait, but we walked in and were the only folks there, so we were done in about 2 minutes.  On our way back, we stopped at the corner to get two egg, cheese and bacon on a roll – a guilty pleasure.  There was no aide this morning, and when I got home, I gave the agency a call, and they, after some looking around, said that the insurance company ended the aides on Wednesday.  It would have been nice to have gotten a call letting me know that.  She said she called and left a message on David’s phone.  This was probably the fourth time I have told the folks at MJHS that David had a stroke and can’t speak, so they should use my phone number, but I guess none of those folks made a note of that.  Anyway, it looks like our services from this organization will come to an end next week.  I will use SelfHelp for the aides that we hire.  Much better service, MJHS has been a disappointment from the start.  I have never gotten calls returned, and every person they send has no idea what the situation is, so it took valuable therapy time to go over details that should have been relayed prior to the visit.

Jennifer came to help in the afternoon, and we did some walking in the gym and lounge.  After Jennifer’s shift was done, we went out to dinner for sushi around the corner.  I think it is probably the best sushi I have ever had.  Not cheap, but really good.  Then, home, some TV and early to bed for David.
